Let’s show up together

John, We're in the final hours before our crucial FEC Pre-General deadline, and we need your immediate support to reach 53% of our monthly goal and stay on track through Election Day. To win the House majority, we must secure four additional seats while holding every incumbent Hou…

As of today

John, let me be clear: I told you GOP mega-donors dropped $183 million to prop up extreme MAGA Republicans. I told you the polls have us neck-and-neck with Team Extreme in the race for the House majority. I told you we need to accelerate our fundraising pace to rush resources to t…

For the last time

John — Emma here, Lauren’s finance director. I’m reaching out to ask for your support ahead of our critical pre-general FEC filing deadline tonight. For the last time, we’ll publicly file our fundraising numbers and everyone — including our opponent — will be able to see if we hav…

John, today our campaign launched our first TV ad of the election, and we want to make sure you had a chance to see it early >>> Getting our ad on TV is a big step, but keeping it running requires resources. The cost of maintaining ad airtime long enough to reach all the…

Over 100,000 Illinoisans

As of today, over 100,000 Illinoisans have cast their vote out of the nearly 4.5 million votes cast across the country, according to AP News. See their tracker: This momentum is incredible, but our work is far from over. With the FEC Pre-General Election fundraising deadline rapi…

John, As we observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day today, we honor the rich history and enduring legacy of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians, whose knowledge, and traditions have shaped and continue to enrich our culture. We must also confront the painful history of …

17% deficit

John, our final FEC fundraising deadline before the election is this Wednesday! This deadline only counts the first half of October, which means we have just two days to reach our target. If you’ve been waiting to join us this election, now — just three weeks until November 5 — is…

Another email

John, we understand you may be receiving many emails from us lately, but each one brings us closer to our $100,000 Pre-General FEC fundraising goal.  Believe us, if it didn't take this many emails to reach our email goal, we would not be sending them as often! Every email helps us…

I’m not finished

Over the last six years, I’ve had countless conversations with folks across the 14th about the issues that matter most. I’ve taken each of those conversations back with me to Congress and fought my heart out to turn them into action. And we’ve done just that. Since I was first ele…

Phenomenal

John, one of Jim Marter’s most absurd claims is that Lauren “isn’t for the people.” !?🤔!? Guess what, Jim? You’re wrong. Here’s what folks in IL-14 have to say about her: “I think she’s phenomenal. I can’t wait to vote for her.” “I know that she sticks up for her community.” “…

A "Ponzi scheme"

John, My opponent has labeled Social Security — a cornerstone program that tens of millions of seniors depend on to support their livelihoods — a “Ponzi scheme.” Seriously. Jim Marter is woefully out of touch with the needs of working families. Social Security provides a lifeline …

Election fraud

Extreme MAGA Republicans have repeatedly and falsely claimed that the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections were “stolen.” And they’re already laying the groundwork in must-win swing states to try to prevent certification of vote totals in the 2024 election. Extensive research, including…

Something happened

Hey John — I wanted to take a moment to look back on a significant election year: 2010. At first, it may not be obvious. I instinctively remember that time as having just finished my Master's program at John Hopkins University and starting my job at the Department of Health and Hu…

Send them packing

Congressional Republicans have yet to use their majority to present a unified plan to help the American people by lowering costs, mitigating global warming, expanding access to affordable health care, and increasing safety in our communities. They don’t have an agenda centered on …

Looking forward

John — do you have a second? I didn't see your name on our list of endorsers so I wanted to reach out to you, personally, to humbly ask if you'll sign on to support my reelection. I am so grateful for your support over the years and commitment to IL-14 values and Team Underwood. …

IL-14’s history

John, we have some interesting facts and a little history lesson on Illinois’ 14th district for you. Did you know that before Lauren won this seat in 2018, IL-14 had been a reliable Republican stronghold for over a century? Here’s a quick snapshot: The GOP dominated IL-14 for mor…

Hey

Hey John, I’m reaching out one more time today because this election is too important to sit out. For years, Republicans in Congress have failed to deliver for the American people. Instead, extreme MAGA Republicans, like my opponent, Jim Marter, are advancing the dangerous Proj…

We can’t let them push us back

When the Supreme Court's ultra-conservative majority dismantled Roe v. Wade, it erased access to vital reproductive health care for millions of women. Despite this, Republicans are striving for even more extreme measures, including a nationwide abortion ban and restrictions on …

Project 2025 will devastate our rights
